Do you know if reindeer sausage is kosher? It
is made locally at Indian Valley Meats. Thank you.

Dear Heather Coats,

Reindeer is a kosher-type animal. But, like
all kosher-type animals, it isn't actually kosher until it is
ritually slaughtered and goes through a special process. If it
doesn't go through this process, then it's not kosher. That's
why all meat needs Rabbinic supervision.

If it's difficult in Anchorage to find meat that
is actually kosher, I am including an address of a Rabbi in Anchorage
who will be able to help you obtain kosher food (address omitted
from published version).
